Streaming music services like Spotify are a little different. The issue is really with services like Amazon Prime and Apple Music where you're paying for each song but don't really 'own' it. With the older paid music services when I bought a song I got a regular .mp3 that I could use anywhere I wanted and owned for life. With these new services we're not buying a song, we're just renting it for the same price.
